Seiko Vintage Diver 3-6-9 dial
Posted: October 5th, 2021, 6:18 am
There is a vibrant seiko modding community here in Singapore, and I recently came across a listing that was impossible to resist.
This is the base watch, pre-mod - a stealth Seiko SRPE
This is the modded version with a faux vintage explorer-sub type dial
More photos from the seller
My poor pics immediately after unboxing
The SRPE replaced the beloved SKX007 model in June 2020. Specs:
* Case Material: Stainless steel
* Dimensions: 40mm
* Lug Width: 20mm
* Crystal: Hardlex
* Water Resistance: 100 meters
* Crown: Push/pull
* Movement: 4R36
If you want a version more suitable for diving, you can get the SRPD version.
This is my first foray in modded Seiko’s, though not modded by myself.
The first mod I will do is to get some fine 3M sanding sponge and dull the pvd/dlc since it’s too shiny
I mentioned irresistible. I purchased this, box papers, registration, for the equivalent of $130 or 114euro. Not bad at all.
